There's a new entry on Tommy's website. And this article sounds positive.

The pain is gone at the moment but the doctors adviced him to withdraw from Halle. Tommy practises already, works on fitness and staying power too and he's confident to play Wimbledon.

The sport1 article sounds completely different than this website entry.

The sport1 article sounds completely different than this website entry.
Could someone please give a brief translation of the sport1 article? I'm sorry I can't read German :sad: But right now I think things are confused mainly due to the fact that no one is answering the question--exactly what is wrong with Tommy's shoulder? Surely the doctors and Tommy must know by now :unsure:

use Babelfish http://babelfish.altavista.com/ for translation. It is not good but still better than German I think.

The article said that Tommy's shoulder is still not better. He even feels pain when he reaches for the safetybelt in his car. He went to New York to see his doctor but the shoulder seems to be ok. On wednesday he will go to Munich so see other doctors and the physio. They think it could be something wrong with his rip or the spine.
He didn`t play any tennis since 8th May but he will start slow practice this weekend and see how the shoulder reacts. He doesn`t want to hurry things because he already had 2 surgeries on this shoulder. He wants to give it some more time to heal.

Munich doctors to condition Haas

Munich - The pain in the shoulder is still there. Altough it is actually no pain, is it?

Since May 8, Tommy Haas had to pause due to a shoulder injury.
"I´m not quite sure, too", says Tommy Haas. "It is a permanent feeling of weakness and somehow a little pain."
If he wants to strap up in his car and pulls down the seat belt for example: "It is the backhand movement. I always feel like I have no power in my right arm."
This is rather obstructive for a tennis player, and that is why Tommy "doesn´t know at all" when he will return to the tour.
It can take 2 weeks, or four. Or maybe longer.
He skipped Halle/Westfalen, Wimbledon officially not yet.
He knows for sure that playing a Grand Slam is impossible for someone who didn´t hit any balls for a month.
Since he retired against Stephanek, he hasn´t played any tennis. But this week end, he wants to hit some balls by way of trial.
He went two times to his confidential doctor in New York who gave a basically all-clear.
„I had two nuclear spin tomographies“, says Haas. „There is definitely nothing torn in my shoulder.“"

Haas heads for Munich
But because there has definitely nothing got better in the pas five weeks, it is he turn of the specialists of his home. The next Wednesday he flies to Munich, where physiotherapist Klaus Eder and the doctors Dr. Ludwig Rembeck und Dr. Hans-Wilhelm Müller-Wohlfahrt are going to look after it.
„Maybe we attribute an effect to a wrong cause“, he says. “Maybe there is a damaged costa or a problem with his cervical spine“
Up to now, Haas copes quite good with his enforced time-out, even if especially the waiver of Wimbledon hurts. He has never reached the last sixteen round there, that´s why he thinks that he “has a score to settle with it“.

US Open and Davis Cup are the big goals
Haas doesn´t think that it is tragical that he had to skip the clay season almost completely: “It is well known that I´m not such a big fan of it”.
His two big goals of this year are well defined for a long time anyway:
Haas, wo has grown up on US-Hardcourts, wants to get as close as possible to his dream of triumphing at the US Open and wants afterwards to reach the final beating Russia
with the german Davis Cup Team.
Germany´s No. 1 subordinates everything at the moment to make his dreams come true. He stayed fit conditionally. His mentally situation is sometimes „a bit difficult“

„I may not rush things“
But no matter what, he heads for home where his family supports him and where the medical competence conditions him.
“I hope to begin practicing soon”, he says. “If it feels a bit better again, I can start building up carefully. I may not rush things, after all the shoulder has been operated two times yet.”

Thank you so much tennislady :worship: And it sounds like Tommy and his doctors really don't actually know exactly what is wrong with him :eek: In some ways I'm encouraged that the medical tests he has had so far were good, but then he still has a problem with his shoulder :confused: May be it is something in his cervical spine a pinched nerve or something that is the real cause of the shoulder not feeling right :unsure: Whatever it is, I just want him to get well soon :angel:

And the most important things of what he says on his website:

I'm skipping Halle, because my doctors adviced me to give my shoulder a little rest. It's looking good for the start of Wimbledon. I have to be careful with my shoulder the next week, i have to build up the training carefully (sorry my english have been better :rolleyes: )

When I was preparing for Roland Garros, suddenly strong pains came up in my shoulder. I went to the doctor to check my shoulder, just to take no risks. Everything is ok, the muscles in my shoulder just need a little rest now. I started training again. I'm training a lot now on the fitness and condition.

Eurosport, Tommy's website and other sources told us different things. It's a little bit strange: pain and no pain, practise and no practise, Wimbledon and no Wimbledon. :confused:
I think again it goes back to the fact that no one is 100% sure of exactly what is wrong with Tommy yet :sad: And they have to find out what is wrong before they know how to treat Tommy. Find out what is wrong please :) And get Tommy well soon :angel:

So, is he playing Wimbledon? Yes or no? :confused:
Sorry the answer is no one knows if he will play or not :shrug: I know Tommy wants very much to play in
Wimbledon because all he has ever wanted there is to reach at least the Rd of 16. But it has been some time since he has been in a Tournament and hasn't even been able to do much in the way of practice. And he would have no grass court warm up tournament to Wimbledon.
And we still don't know what is wrong with him :sad: If I had to guess, I would say he will miss Wimbledon. He has never done that well there anyway and with the situation as it is now I don't think he would be able to do much, if any winning there :crying2: But you never know with Tommy he might give it a try. The doctors need to find out what his problem is now. And when that is known we will all have a better idea of what Tommy will be doing, I think :unsure:

Yes Tommy did play there last year. So far he is not officially out of Wimbledon, but it wouldn't surprise me to hear at any time he has pulled out :sad: Really I don't see the point in him playing other than I know he really wants to play. He doesn't play well there. He hasn't been playing. Why not just wait until hard court season :shrug: That is IMO where Tommy plays his best tennis. But why can't we hear what is really wrong with Tommy :fiery:

But Tommy had been playing so well as of late. Actually winning Tournaments after all the shoulder problems. Oh he missed a Tournament now and then because he said his shoulder felt "tight" and he didn't want to take any chances. And I certainly don't blame him for that. But this is the most injury time that he has taken all at once for a long time :sad:

As I said I don't think he should. Not only hasn't he had a good preparation he hasn't had a preparation at all at least Tournament wise. And we never did hear if the last time he tried to practice, if he was even successfull at that :sad: :bigcry: At least may be when he gives his Wimbledon decision we may learn some more about his health :unsure:

yeah Mae, you have to stay positive!! :yeah: Tomorrow he'll tell wheter he'll play Wimbledon or not...

I think it's his old injury again, pain in the muscles and things around the muscles.. old injury which 'becomes active' again.. no more news on his site aswell... :unsure:

Tommy is still in Donaustauf getting treatment from the physio of the German Davis Cup and national soccer team. He said he will only go to Wimbledon if he is 100 % fit. But since he withdrew from Boodles I don`t think he will try to play Wimbledon without any practice on grass.

Tommy has never played well at Wimbledon. He has had no grass warm-up Tournament and probably very little practice even. How far do you think he would get at Wimbledon anyway? It would be much better not to risk any problem with the shoulder. I know GS are boring without Tommy. I think all Tournaments are boring without Tommy. But if that shoulder goes out you won't be seeing Tommy on the Tour at all :bigcry:

16681

06-22-2007, 03:01 AM

Oh Mae, get over yourself, no need to be so dramatic all the time! Tommy isn't stupid, do you think he'd risk his whole career if he wasn't ready to play? He knows better than you or anyone for that matter. I for one think he should play if he feels ok! Yes he hasn't done particularly well at Wimbledon before, but anything can happen. This year, with no expectataions or pressure, an inspired Tommy could do big things! I'm keeping my fingers crossed that he gives it a try. Tommy's the best and I hope he turns this year around and gets back to the form and results from the first part of 2007.

GO TOMMY - YOU'RE A LEGEND!!!!!

Well pardon me, but the 1st time Tommy had shoulder surgery he tried to come back to the Tour too soon and ended up having to have his shoulder worked on yet again. Which proves to me that Tommy has indeed let his desire to play overide his judgment when it comes to his health. He was very lucky to make it back on the Tour after all of that. And even more amazing to come back and win on the Tour! If I were him, I wouldn't push my luck any at all now.

Tommy has the game to do very well at Wimbledon. Brilliant volleyer and also a very good slice backhand. You need to remember he is getting old now and he doesn't have that many more chances to play wimbledon.

kiwi10is

06-22-2007, 04:14 PM

his doctors gave their ok today and he is clever enough to know how much he is going to risk. I don't think he will play if he is not 100 % fit. Don't you think he learned from the first shoulder injury? So if the doctors gave their ok and he feels ok why shouldn`t he play??? OK.. he didn`t have any matches on grass this year but who cares? He has been playing on the tour for some years now and he has enough experience to start in Wimbledon without any matches on grass.
